Our signature washed rind cheese: a ripe Trappist style with moderate pungency and a gorgeous
orange rind. Hooligan wheels feature a slight cream line with soft exterior and slightly firmer
center. The texture and flavor of Hooligan highlight the richness of our Jersey milk and the
natural microflora of our cheese cave. Hooligans are washed weekly in brine to encourage the
growth of flavor-producing and texture-enhancing bacteria and yeasts on the rind. The Hooligan
tastes like Alsatian Muenster or farmhouse Oka; it melts beautifully for a fabulously stinky
toasted cheese that compares to raclette. Pair with Belgian ale, pickled vegetables, crusty bread,
and hot pepper jelly. Winner of the Outstanding Dairy category Gallo Family Vineyards Gold
Medal Awards, Hooligan has been featured in publications ranging from The New York Times,
Food and Wine, and Saveur to Yankee Magazine and Men’s Health.
